| Hey Tony, I'm enjoying this one. That's a great use for those lattice pieces. While I find the black part on the front a tad heavy visually, I can see it as shielding for the craft. Kind of like those 5mph bumpers they had to tack onto cars in the (...) (20 years ago, 5-Mar-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) New Kansas!? Children of the Space Corn? Great ship Tony, great name, but I'm surprised you didn't go with .38 Special. Guess you wanted the added firepower. I really like the canopy area, good solid design. For some reason the ship reminds me (...) (20 years ago, 6-Mar-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Yes, the big curves do dominate the nose of the ship visually. But you gotta have plenty of room for coolant and the big magnetic whatchamadoos.

| (...) The parts over the cargo space are a plate taller, so there would be a larger flat surface exposed above the radar dish. That could possibly be solved by mounting the dish differently and moving it up a bit, but the engineering gets (...) (20 years ago, 7-Mar-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Ouch- you're killing me! Hmm, though it would be interesting to see how you make the translation. I see this model as defined by certain parts- the lattice wings and big curvy nose pieces in particular, and those would have to be done totally (...) (20 years ago, 7-Mar-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)
